00:00 "Jimmy, I don't even need you. I'm your son."
00:06 "I'm sorry, I'm scared."
00:08 "Hey!"
00:10 Mariah Carey pranks Jimmy Kimmel bringing Christmas to his bedroom in the middle of the night.
00:21 "I guess sometimes good things happen to good people, is the lesson that I've learned."
00:26 It all went down in a pre-taped segment for Jimmy Kimmel Live where Mariah and a bunch of holiday characters,
00:32 including Santa, gather outside of Jimmy's house at 2am,
00:37 conspiring with Jimmy's wife Molly to sneak inside and wake the late night host with some holiday cheer.
00:43 "Hey, so we're here at Jimmy's house in the middle of the night, and we're going to wake him up because we've got a little known time in this."
00:51 And the Grammy winner is the perfect person for the job, given that her 1994 holiday tune,
00:56 "All I Want for Christmas is You" climbs the charts every year.
01:01 "Baby, all I want for Christmas is you, baby."
01:14 "It's for Christmas, darling, come on."
01:17 "Baby, all I want for Christmas is you."
01:25 "You guys can go to sleep."
01:28 But Mariah isn't the first celeb to crash into Jimmy's bedroom in the middle of the night, waking him up with their music.
01:35 "It's shocking but true."
01:37 Rihanna did it first.
01:39 "Bring me what you want."
01:44 Followed by Britney Spears,
01:54 Dua Lipa,
02:02 and Miley Cyrus.
02:04 "Guess who it is, Jimmy? Good morning."
02:08 "I came in like a rock 'n' roll."
02:12 As for Mariah, as the clock struck midnight on November 1st, the singer kicked off Mariah season,
02:17 posting this clip of creepy Halloween characters chipping away and thawing an ice block containing a festively clad Mariah.
02:25 "It's time."
02:33 Mariah recruited a little help from her kiddos, 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon.
02:41 "I'm like a kid. We don't really have to grow up when we do this for a living."
02:55 The singer previously teased the rollout to her annual holiday season takeover by sharing her Halloween costumes,
03:01 Jessica Rabbit and Regina George from Mean Girls, on Instagram alongside the hashtag #NotYet.
03:08 "It was a moment, how could you not?"
03:11 Well, safe to say it's officially time, and Mariah has us feeling the holiday spirit.
03:17 "I'm like, 'Wait a minute, something smells good.' And then we see what turned out."
03:24 "I brought you a t-shirt. It's time, mommy."
03:29 "No, no, no."
03:31 "I cracked through the ice, I've defrosted just for you. Get some sleep. Okay, bye."
03:37 "Merry Christmas!"
03:39 "Thank you guys for coming."
